FASA (Families Affected by Sexual Assault)

The Families Affected by Sexual Assault [FASA] program has been working with families in Winnipeg for over 30 years. We believe that parents or guardians are the best resources for their children. In our collaborative work with families, we provide trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate therapy to help children and their families recover.

For Parents

A child’s disclosure breaks the silence and begins the recovery process

When faced with the issues of sexual assault, parents often feel helpless

The staff of the FASA program is here to help you and your family.

What you need to know:

Sexual assault affects all family members

Parents play an active and essential role in therapy

Children who have support and understanding will suffer fewer ill effects

Children can and do recover

For Kids

If this has happened to you it is very important that you tell an adult that you trust to help you. If this has happened to someone you know it is also important to tell an adult that you trust. Adults can, will, and do believe, they can help.
